Installing "Sugar on a stick" (Strawberry Release) On A USB Stick

Sugar is the desktop environment that is used for the "One Laptop per Child" (OLPC) netbooks. It can also be installed on normal computers and even run off of a USB stick (which should have at least 1GB of size). This guide shows how you can install Sugar (the Strawberry release which is based on Fedora 11) on a USB stick.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1 Preliminary Note

In this tutorial I use an Ubuntu 9.04 desktop to install Sugar onto a USB stick. You can as well use a Fedora 11 desktop as the needed packages are available for Fedora, too.

Make sure you use the correct device name of your USB stick (/dev/sdf1 in this example) and the correct paths to livecd-iso-to-disk.sh and soas-strawberry.iso (as you remember, I stored both in ~/Desktop)!
